Halle’s Race War With Gabriel: Our Daughter IS Black

Halle Berry says it point blank … her daughter is Black — a direct message to her ex Gabriel Aubry who, according to sources, “went nuts” anytime someone called Nahla Black.

Halle says in an upcoming interview with EBONY magazine, “I feel she’s Black. I’m Black and I’m her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory.” The one-drop rule was used during segregation to describe anyone who wasn’t 100% Caucasian.

As TMZ first reported, sources connected with the former couple say Gabriel insists Nahla is White.

Truth is, their both sorta right … and both sorta wrong

Halle Berry: He Put My Kid At Risk!

Halle Berry claims her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry is a crazed, jealous man who put their child at risk, while he claims she’s the jealous one who flies into rages and is a no-show in the baby’s life … sources tell TMZ.

Halle and Gabriel are locked in what has turned into an epic custody war. Sources tell us … while Gabriel was dating someone last year … he claims Halle would call, screaming and swearing at him in a jealous rage.

Gabriel also claims Halle cares more about dating than parenting.

But our sources say Halle says it’s the opposite — that Gabriel is petty, jealous and irresponsible. But the most serious allegation … we’re told Halle believes Gabriel put Nahla in immediate harm’s way by being inattentive while the child was in his care.

Khloe Kardashian’s husband wants the couple to have twins

The socialite and her basketball player spouse Lamar Odom are keen to start a family but the brunette beauty thinks the sportsman has a lot to learn when it comes to biology.

In a joint interview with her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, she told KIIS-FM DJ Ryan Seacrest: “He asked me, ‘Can’t we just put two in there?’ He’s crazy, he thinks it’s like that easy.”

Kim – who has recently been romantically linked with model Gabriel Aubry – also admitted to the presenter that she is currently dating someone, despite previously saying she wanted to remain single after splitting from NFL stars Reggie Bush and Miles Austin earlier this year.

She said: “I really do want to stay single but it’s really hard when you meet amazing people, and gorgeous people. I’m dating – I’m definitely dating.”

Though Ryan didn’t directly ask Kim if she was dating Gabriel, he queried whether she would like to meet Halle Berry, the mother of the Canadian hunk’s two-year-old daughter Nahla.

Kim replied: “She’s beautiful… I may – I don’t know.”

The 30-year-old beauty also laughed off the constant scrutiny of her love life, insisting that whenever she steps out with a man, she is not necessarily romantically involved with them.

She said: “If I’m photographed on five different dates, it’s assumed I am the town slore, and I could have never hooked up with any of these people.

“Sometimes I just wanna date whoever… even if I never sleep with someone, and I’m photographed with three different guys, they assume I’ve slept with all three guys.”

Halle Berry reportedly “kicked out” Gabriel Aubry several months ago after realising their relationship was over.

The Oscar-winning actress decided to end her four-and-a-half year union with the Canadian model as she knew her future wasn’t with him, but wanted the split to be as amicable as possible for the sake of their daughter, Nahla, two.

A source told People magazine: “She kicked him out months ago because he wasn’t able to pull his weight in the relationship and she wanted to move on.

“They’re very amicable in healthy ways because of their child. Her main concern is for the health and happiness of her daughter.”

A representative for twice-married Halle confirmed the break-up, saying: “They have been split for some time, but remain friends and committed parents to their daughter.”

Gabriel, 34, has recently spoken out about the split saying the priority for him and 43-year-old Halle was little Nahla.

He said: “While I will not comment on all of the wild inaccuracies being speculated about in the media, I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time.

“She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another.”

“We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world, and her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us. Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.”

Halle Berry’s ex boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, denies her age is to blame for their split.

The Canadian model told how the breakup of his four and a half year relationship was amicable, and denied the nine-year age gap between him and 43-year-old Halle was a factor, as had previously been reported.

He told Access Hollywood: “While I will not comment on all of the wild inaccuracies being speculated about in the media, I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time.

“She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another.”

Since the couple split, which happened a few months ago, Gabriel, 34, and Oscar winning actress Halle have been working to resolve their finances and make arrangements for their two-year-old daughter, Nahla – whom they are said to be planning to equally share custody of.

Gabriel added: “We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world, and her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us. Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.” Gabriel is believed to have ended the relationship with the ‘Monster’s Ball’ actress because they spent so much time apart.

Halle Berry, Gabriel Split — Custody in Limbo

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have split, TMZ has confirmed, and she went to a divorce lawyer 3 weeks ago to find out about a custody arrangement … but nothing long-term was agreed upon and no financial settlement has been struck.

Halle and Gabriel worked out a “very short-term custody arrangement,” a very connected source tells TMZ.  But when they worked out the arrangement they had not split, though they were clearly having problems.  Neither Halle nor Gabriel have tried to make the arrangement permanent for 2-year-old Nahla.

Neither of them have gone to a lawyer to formalize any type of long-term agreement, so despite the fact they have split, there is no custody arrangement or property settlement agreement.

We are told, however, by sources close to the situation, that Halle and Gabriel are “working well together” and are handling parental duties without conflict.

We are told the long-term plan is to share custody but nothing has been formalized in writing.

UPDATE:  We’re told Halle and Gabriel have agreed to several short-term custody arrangements while they sort things out.  They have renewed them each time they have expired and are still working under a short-term agreement but no permanent agreement has been struck.

Halle Berry has reportedly split from Gabriel Aubry.

The actress and the French-Canadian model – who have a two-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry together but are not married – have ended their romance and are currently working out financial and custody arrangements, according to RadarOnline.com.

It was Gabriel, 34, who allegedly decided to call time on his five-year relationship with 43-year-old Halle and their nine-year age gap is believed to have been a factor in his decision.

A source said: “Gabriel just felt it wasn’t working anymore. When they were first together the nine-year age difference between them didn’t faze him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and he was totally in love. But as time went on he started feeling it more and more. He felt he needed to break it off with Halle.”

The relationship ended a couple of months ago and Halle has been using the services of Judy Bogen, a family law attorney from Beverly Hills law firm Hersch Mannis and Bogen, to sort out custody conditions for Nahla and various financial matters.

The source added: “Gabriel’s main concern was custody of Nahla, he loves that little girl more than anything, and wanted 50/50 joint physical custody of her, which Halle agreed to.

“Financially, Gabriel earns a decent amount from his modeling career, in the region of $700,000 per year, so he’s comfortable and he didn’t want a dime from Halle.

“All Gabriel has asked for is the house they own together in Canada. Halle put the full deposit down on the house but Gabriel has made every one of the payments since. Halle agreed right away.

“As much as it can be it’s been an amicable split.”

Unlucky-in-love Halle is no stranger to break-ups.

The Oscar winner’s first marriage to David Justice, a former baseball player, ended after four years in 1997.

Her second union to musician Eric Benet imploded after four years when the ‘Monster’s Ball’ star discovered he had cheated on her.

After two failed marriages Halle vowed not to wed Gabriel because she didn’t need to be a wife to be happy.

She said: “I will never marry again. I have a good healthy love for myself and love in my life. I no longer feel the need to be someone’s wife and I don’t need the validation of a marriage certificate.”

The  ‘X-Men’ actress – who has previously spoken about the abuse she and her mother suffered at the hands of their partners – is relieved the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker ended her relationship with Chris Brown after he assaulted her in February.

She said: “Any time a woman frees herself from that kind of bondage and that kind of situation I’m proud.”

Meanwhile, Halle has denied she and long-term boyfriend Gabriel Aubry – with whom she has 19-month-old daughter Nahla – are planning to have another child, insisting she is too busy with working on her new perfume range.

When asked if she was contemplating having another baby, she told US TV show ‘Access Hollywood’: “Not my real baby, but my career baby and it’s called Pure Orchid. I have to say it’s pretty.”

Halle recently admitted she used to be attracted to abusive men because she regularly saw her father attacking her mother when she was growing up.

She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The Oscar-winning beauty regularly witnessed her father attack her mother when she was growing up and says it affected her choice in partners.

She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.

“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”

However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

The 43-year-old actress has now found happiness with model Gabriel Aubry, the father of her 19-month-old daughter Nahla.

She is also using her experiences to help others who have suffered domestic abuse and works closely with the Jenesse Center, a Los Angeles-based shelter which provides support for victims.

Halle – who was honoured by the centre four years ago for her humanitarian work – said: “I care, I really care about these women and children.”
